Meltdown in Moscow - SPECIAL REPORT
With the replacement of Premier Sergei Kiriyenko by previous Premier Victor Chernomyrdin right in the middle of post-Soviet Russia's worst financial crisis and crisis of confidence, I have come to the conclusion that anything can happen at this point. Everyone, especially Westerners living in Russia, should now be prepared for the worst.

NATO, Markets, and Russia

Primakov's Outta Here...and so am I
<p>All my predictions of (relative) peace and calm in Moscow seem to have been knocked into a cocked hat, with Yeltsin's third replacement of his premier in just over a year, in the teeth of a Duma debating impeaching him. His change of premier may (in case his nominee for premier is rejected by the Duma three times) give him a right that would be forbidden if the Duma approves any articles of impeachment - the right to dissolve the Duma and call early Duma elections. This in itself - let alone the fact that Primakov and his government was forced upon Yeltsin by the Duma - spells a likely constitutional crisis.</p> <p>More importantly, it spells a likely return to instability and possibly even chaos, as expectations are destroyed once more by Yeltsin's breaking his promises (not to interfere in Primakov's government) and upsetting expectations through personnel reshuffles. This brings back the spectre of Russia as rabid tiger...with a likely enough international issue at hand.</p> <p>Breaking promises is also why I am leaving Suite101.com. Suite101.com management broke a couple of promises to us Contributing Editors, and did so with little consideration for what was at stake. After long and careful thought, I have decided that it would be neither right nor prudent for myself to stick with Suite101.com. But, you should still feel free to email me and/or visit my site, especially if you want to start up some new Russian politics discussions or articles...and there should be plenty to write about in the months ahead!</p>
